    I´m a native spanish speaker, but I took english classes since I was 8. Still, my english is not great, I think to speak a really good english you have to practice with native english speakers and I don´t have that possibility at moment, so I try to read aloud texts in english very often in order to improve my pronunciation, watching movies with subtitles (is harder here where I live, when all movies are in spanish), etc...
    I been told by my costumers that my english is not bad at all, but when I get nervous, or speak fast it´s like I get stucked and it´s pretty frustrating, but they are generally understanding and I think they aprecciate the effort. Actually, I kind of bothered and I´m sure they too, when I see models whatever language they speak, only learn to say "gold", "tip me", "private", and thats all, I feel its kind of rude...
    Also, althought I try to correct it, many of them find the accent sexy
    I´m still pretty new, but my best advice is try to speak even when your english is not perfect, they like to hear us talk, and your english will become more fluid with time and practice

    Oh yes, that's a sensitive subject for me, my english is good but i have the accent, some guys on cam sites are just not into foreigners, they subjective, arrogant, ignorant and so on, some are sweet & like the woman not the accent/ nationality but be prepared to get hurt cause u'll deal with a lot of people that have different expectations.

    I lived in Uk for a year but was not long enough to catch the accent lol, i did big efforts to learn this language but even after hummm... more than 20 years of speaking english with my exes or at work i am not perfect with it and some sentences are hard for me to understand.

    If u dont live in a country where english is spoken or dont have a bf/ husband to talk to in english u'll find it hard to speak fluent in english but it's not impossible. You can take classes, learn to pronounce using audio material, learn specific wording and expressions, fake an accent lol.

    I must say i did not study english in school but i was my own teacher when i needed it for work. First i did not even know to write haha just speak a very basic conversational english. Was a long way and i know i'll never have it perfect which is normal, that's why we call it NATIVE language- mother language.

    A foreign language will always be a second language for us and is difficult to 'think' in a new language. Good luck!!

    You ladies have to remember that the US is also full of tons of people that use slang. They don't speak perfect English at all. I honestly wouldn't stress over it. Do the best you can and continue to work on your English. Hell you probably have better grammar than most Americans.

    Thanks for your help. I don't write that i live in us. Or i am a us-girl. That wrong Informations. And i am not a liar. I write i am a german girl. Okay i was born in russian/uzbekistan, but i am not a mongolian person, my look are a german, and i don't have 5% russian slang. I think, if i don't lie in my marketing text, the man can't say, you say you are a us-girl.

    I think i must try try try, and learn learn learn. I don't have friends, they can speak so good english, to learn to speak better, i am alone, and for me at the moment are a lonely way to learn it. But it helps, if i can asking you girls if i have question. I hope in the next years, my english and my experience on the us-sites are so good, i can help too, how you are helping me. :-) I hope it, but i do it in germany for the germany camgirls.

    And i hope a can help in the next time another girls here.

    I am very thankfull to help me.

    Try out http://livemocha.com/

    It's a website where you can practice orally (reading aloud) and grammatically (typing) and someone will 'grade' you on how well you did, and tell you where you've messed up. You help by doing the same for the language you speak. It's not too hard to find buddies on there that will help. If you try it and can't find enough people to help you, send me a PM and I can help you out some.

    I'm Eastern European and I always talk out loud. I didn't have a single bad experience. They either love my accent or ignore it. Some JOI guys love our shows because of my accent. It's some extra turn-on for them. It might be a turn off for some guys, but noone ever said a bad word about it, probably they just quietly leave when they hear it.

    We learn British English in school over here, but I picked up a lot of American thingies playing online with Americans and using TS/Vent, so my English is a mix of both + EE accent. I often get guys telling me I'm from GB and they don't believe when I tell them I'm from EE. Once I argued with a guy who kept telling me I was British and I kept telling him I was NOT British. Then someone else said, "she cannot be British, she has nice teeth" Lol wtf?

    I had a long show in which a guy explained the difference between 'w' and 'v', because he taught English in EE before and this is a common mistake of us. He was very very sweet, and I got paid for it, so yeah.

    Also once several guys were in my room and they taught me how to pronounce certain words I didn't know before. It was super fun, I loved it. I always smile when I remember these nights, cause they were always super sweet indeed.

    Now on the other hand maybe other girls wouldn't enjoy anything like that and got hurt instead. I love when they are helpful, once I got about an hour long excl out of computer trouble shooting, when I put the cam into my computer and he helped me with the motherboard and the tricky processor cooler fan.

    I am a spanish native speaker, but I'm pretty bilingual by now, I've worked with English all my life. I know I have an accent but it's pretty hard for guys to figure it out because it sounds sort of mexican hilted, but with lots of thrown in accent and slang from the Midwest in America with a bit of real English and Scottish figures of speech and pronunciations because of a succession of very manly boyfriends. I even exaggerate it sometimes in order to amuse myself or throwing guys off.

    However I am also a translator and interpreter so I have to keep a good 'voice' somewhere around. I also taught english for a few years so if you want to become more fluent I can give you some ideas: Right now I don't get much of a change to talk in English except on cam and with very few friends; but sometimes I read out loud in English just to hear myself and practice; you can even record yourself. the news, advertising, watch a lot of movies and shows in English and even write down phrases you like or have questions about. Have someone write you down in correct English the most common phrases you use (I guess we could make a list here) and not only type them, but read them out loud every time it comes up. Type and read. Work those neural paths! Learning basic phrases will lead to a range of possible answers, and really from then on it's just a question of vocabulary.

    Thanks for the tip about Livemocca, I want to learn some combat filthy German to try camming in that language and that sounds just like what I need!

    I'm not a native speaker either, but I've been fluent for over a decade and a lot of people can't guess where I'm from. I even get people who think I'm from Australia or the UK LOL... Or they think I was born in America and just moved to Europe. I always get compliments on how well I speak it. Just do your best, you'll get better eventually

    Thank you girls for posting your experiences with all of us non-native speakers It really does help a lot.

    I've been learning English for about 15 years now. I can write it really good, I can even "think in English" (if you know what I mean), but when it comes to talking out loud? Oh hell no! I really don't like MY accent, but find most girls with an accent super, super cute. I just hate that "russian feel" to my accent and I just type the whole time. Good thing is that I can type really fast, so no one ever complains. Ok, they complain - but I won't talk, so screw them!

    Most of my custies want me to talk, so I talk for a few minutes, but then I hear myself and it's all downhill from that. I know I need to practice and I know my English is really good, but my accent... Oh my accent. I just don't like it and I am self conscious about it.

    I would love to learn English even better, but it's so hard when you're not talking out loud... Oh well... I might as well talk and get over it. If it were so easy...

    I hate that i need to have my keyboard near me all the time to type in free chat so mobility is limited, work is different than when u can move around and talk loud. But if i did this i know i loose business, i tried, i was not taken pvt by anyone, when u dont have a lot of people in ur room u try to keep the member entering ur chat and lure him in pvt thinking 'maybe he'll not ask me to talk' or ' maybe he likes my accent while i talk and stay as he is jacking off already watching me', i mean if i talk in free chat and he doesent like my voice/ accent i will loose him from start. Dont wanna tell how many members i lost in the middle of a hot show just by opening my mouth, sad lol. Also i find it difficult to type while i perform, i rather talk but is always 'risky' for me.

    I have a whole thing with the talking vs typing, cause I seem to even think smoother when typing. If I talk I invariably get 'didn't get you baby' or I'll just get distracted midphrase and I start talking nonsense. Yesterday I asked the guys if they really wanted to ride my hot dick. *facepalm*

    yeah, it has little to do with the language, I'm just the most unsexy talker ever.

    Oh, thanks for the replies. It helps so much, to feel i am not the only person with that feeling.

    Important are, to try try try and talk with friends with the same hobbies, at skype and so. It helps. Ok. But not for all acents zu understand.

    Now i hear american radio and more us series (i see all series in english with german undertitle).

    I speak in Streamate with the guys. I try it, my voice are terrible, i change me voice, a little bit crazy. The Guys like it. I don't have a problem in Chats, i think not, you have a problem. Important are, the guys understand you. But yes if the men speak slow, you understand more, but to say, hey, can you speak slowly and clearly with me, i don't understand or, what you say? What you say? Sorry what you say? piep piep piep, hang up.

    Perhaps, a girl or girls, want friendship with a person, in the same position like her, she can write me a message, to motivate, to become friends, to learn together and many more. Send me a message i am open for new and more experience.

    :-)
